Services

15+ years of experience architecting production systems at scale. From Fortune 500 data infrastructure to garage lab innovations—I bring the same rigor and creativity to every project.

What I Do

Distributed Systems Architecture

Design and implementation of systems that process billions of records with high availability and fault tolerance.

Distributed DatabasesMessage QueuesLoad BalancingFault Tolerance
Examples: Search infrastructure at TransUnion scale • High-volume messaging platforms • Multi-region data replication

Data Engineering

Building pipelines that ingest, transform, and serve data at scale with real-time and batch processing.
